Asticom Technology Inc. (Asticom), the shared services arm of Globe Telecom, has partnered with Ayala Healthcare Holdings, Inc. (AC Health) to support the global Working with Cancer initiative, promoting inclusivity and support for employees battling cancer.
The initiative, which aims to eliminate the stigma surrounding cancer in the workplace, encourages companies to create a supportive culture for employees facing the disease. Asticom, a leader in shared services in the Philippines, has long prioritized employee wellness, with initiatives such as preventive health programs, non-discrimination policies, and flexible work arrangements.
This collaboration follows Globe’s participation in the Working with Cancer initiative earlier this year, making it the first telecom company in Southeast Asia to join the global effort.
Asticom’s partnership with AC Health highlights their commitment to ensuring that employees with cancer have the resources and support they need to recover, without fear of losing their jobs or facing discrimination. The company offers mental health programs, cancer treatment coverage, and additional benefits designed to create a compassionate work environment.
Mharicar Castillo-Reyes, president and CEO of Asticom, emphasized the company’s long-standing focus on employee care. “For almost a decade, Asticom has been driven by a clear purpose: to improve people’s lives. Our employees are at the heart of everything we do, and we strive to support them, especially during health challenges,” she said.
Paolo Borromeo, president and CEO of AC Health, praised Asticom’s efforts, calling their participation in the Working with Cancer initiative a testament to the growing trend among companies to prioritize employee well-being. “At AC Health, we are proud to support like-minded partners in creating workplaces that champion compassion and inclusivity,” he added.
Asticom’s commitment to fostering a culture of support and inclusivity not only helps its workforce but also sets a strong example for other companies to follow in prioritizing employee health and well-being.
